[NFP] Soothsayer can't sacrifice units to volcanoes

[arik24]

hey y'all I am playing a game as Gran Colombia and for some reason my Soothsayer can't sacrifice units to volcanoes why I have the Archer I will sacrifice next to the volcano I click the "sacrifice unit adjacent unit" button but nothing happens why ? here's screen shot

Check if it is an active or inactive volcano (if it doesn't have lava in the crater, is inactive). Soothsayers only work with active volcanoes.

 

[arik24]

the volcano is active here's a better screen shot

 

[cuso210]

Try having the unit and the soothsayer on the same tile.

"Try having the unit and the soothsayer on the same tile" I did try that nothing happened I also when to another volcano that did not have any volcanic soil around nothing happened there either.

That's weird, it should work then. Are you playing with any mods? It's the only thing I think could be affecting your game.

I think the volcano has to be in your borders.
That one in the picture is outside.
Maybe the unit and soothsayer have to be in your borders.
They seem to be outside as well.

I have sacrificed units outside of my territory, I don't think that's it.

Bugged I suppose.

"That's weird, it should work then. Are you playing with any mods? It's the only thing I think could be affecting your game." yes I am using mods but don't see how any of them would make the soothsayer not work here's the mods Im using

It may be because of one of the mods haven't been updated properly. Have you played apocalypse mode with these mods before and every was fine or is this your first game with this setting and these number of mods?

 

[Brutus2]

I don't have any answer for you except to confirm that the soothsayer and the unit do need to be stacked together on the same tile. This is very misleading because the button on the soothsayer specifically says "sacrifice adjacent unit." I was able to sacrifice a unit using a soothsayer and one of my units into a volcano, all of which were within my territory and during an appease the gods event.

 

[oSiyeza]

You can sacrifice adjacent units no problem, when u are next to a volcano. But here is the thing, u can ONLY sacrifice units during an appease the gods competition.

At least for me, the sacrifice option is not there unless there is a competition.

The game is a bit obscure about this, but I dont think is a bug.

 

[DogeEnricoDandolo]

It does not need to be inside your territory and the unit sacrificed doesnt need to be on the same hex as the soothsayer. They demonstrated this on the livestream.

 

[arik24]

yes this my first game with this setting and this number of mods.

Pretty sure it's some mod compability, since I was experiencing the same problem and it disappeared after I tested in a new game without mods.

My list of mods:

• 8 ages of pace
• Atelier civilization
• Barbarian conquer cities
• City original owner info
• Civitas Boran
• Civitas Kawad I
• Civitas Sassanid
• Civitas Shapur I
• Close panels
• Disable all nuclear emergency
• Enhanced mod manager
• Gedemo Camelot city-state
• Gedemo Krak des Chevaliers city-state
• Gedemo Mochica
• Gedemo Tahiti
• Gedemo Tairona
• Leugi Pacal
• Merrick Austria
• Real Great People
• Sui generis
• Sukritact global relations panel
• Sukritact Hadrian
• Sukritact Robespierre
• Suzerain at a glance
• Tomatekh historical religions
• V leaders reborn Maria Theresa
• Yet (not) another maps pack
• Yossie new leaders Nagato/Mutsu

The ones in bold are the ones both you and me are using, so I'd suggest to play a game without them.

May be an obvious question, but after you click "sacrifice adjacent unit" on the soothsayer, are you making sure to then click on the Archer to select it? They can be either adjacent or on the same tile, but you have to click on them!

 

[Flaxitux]

The Apocalypse Game Mode introduced a new Support unit, the Soothsayer, who can trigger disasters onto nearby tiles and come with special promotions. In order to earn promotions for the Soothsayers, players will compete in a new Appease the Gods Competition, which triggers randomly throughout the game independently of the World Congress. During the Competition, the Soothsayer will have a special ability to sacrifice nearby military units to an active Volcano to earn points equal to the units' Combat Strength.

I don't know if this help but I had the same problem and the reason for that was a mod called WASD Camera Panning. (It's obsolete now). It interfeared with the left click the sacrifice unite, so the game didn't respond on the sacried unit. So if you have a mod that move or alters key binding disable them and see if it works.
